Deficit Neutral This! - The Socialism Index

[Eisen89]

Then how about the fact that in the U.S., the economy (and also the stock market) perform significantly better under a president who advocates socialist policies?

[TimFlanegin]

Could you please cite the socialist presidents that prove your point? I want to make sure that I give an intelligent answer to your question.

Great analysis - socialists love to spend other peoples money until there is none and then moan about the decline but revel in the fact that everyone is at least equal. Socialism kills motivation, taxation kills growth. Good video

Maybe you should learn some economics before commenting on something like this or maybe, just maybe you should at least ask an economist about how all of this stuff works...oh wait, I'm an economist which means I understand this stuff. Your assumption is presumptuous and (to an extent) inaccurate.

[TimFlanegin]

Eisen89, I did learn Economics academically, including Macro and Micro, and if anything, my professors promoted a Keynsian philosophy. But I am also an independent thinker, and run a business, and so have learned much about Economics in the real world. So while I am not an "economist" in the sense that you claim to be, neither am I ignorant on the subject.

Become a better person:

Step 1: Stop kissing the rich's ass

Step 2: Read a book or two about socialism before you criticize it. Also, compare our health insurance to other countries like Australia and Switzerland

Step 3: Deflate your ego

socialism leads to globalism . . . that was hitlers vision, good call chief

[Eisen89]

So what's the problem?
